The Threading Spa
Reviews
There were mixed reviews but I decided to try it since I was in the area. The prices are about the same as other places, and I think whoever did my eyebrows did a pretty good job .... but the problem is that she had a bit of BO and that's not good when she has to loom over close to you while threading your brows. Luckily she finished pretty quickly..
Let me tell you why I can never trust this place again: To preface, I've had my brows done here for months, so this is not a lightly given review. Second, I have great eyebrows. It's a weird thing to say, but I've gotten compliments from people next to me at the hairdresser, coworkers, etc (literally the first thing my friend said to me when I called to vent on the way home about my experience was "oh no, and your brows are so perfect!"). I'm Italian, so I need strong brows, used to wax my own, and know what shape fits my face. Up until this evening, the ladies here have always been great when I say "I just need a clean up, I like the shape. That's exactly what I got, and if they wanted to suggest a slight tweak, they'd show me in the mirror before doing it. This evening was different. I said the same thing I always did, and the girl went to work on my brows. As she was doing my second brow- -the left, it hurt a lot - substantially for someone who's had this and waxing done all her life. Only when she was done and gave me the mirror did I realize that it hurt because she was threading hairs I've never plucked in my life!! I looked in the mirror, horrified at the two differently shaped brows - the left threaded within an inch of its life. In panic, I told her "you took way too much! They're different shapes!" She proceeded to tell me that there "was less hair on the left to start with and she was fixing that." BULL. You either weren't careful enough or you plain messed up. I now have one sharply arched eyebrow, and one rounded. Either way, you didn't listen to what I specifically asked - not to touch the shape!! NOT. OKAY. I stood up and was so simultaneously angry and about to cry. My brows look as if I'm constantly raising one up, even though I'm not. Yes, I know they grow back. But I just paid someone to cause me an inconvenience for the coming weeks, so that's the issue here. So now, for the coming weeks, I get to spend extra time every morning and lunch hour making sure I've filled in my brows to look the same. And I got to pay for that service. I will never, ever be back, because they've lost my trust in their service, and I sadly will be telling my friends that I no longer suggest them either. When your job as an eyebrow threader is literally to listen to what I like for my brows and then do it...and you can't...that's unacceptable to me. PS - The kicker is that there was NO actual apology, or even an apologetic tone from the threader - instead, bitchy silence that I had the audacity to tell HER that she'd just removed half my eyebrows (when I specifically told her not to touch the shape.) I can confirm she did remove a ton of hair because now, an hour later, my left eyebrow is stil stinging from the hair follicles that were just ripped out for the first time in my life. Horrible.
